There are lessons to be learned with every event we experience in life. Such experiences, however personal they may be, can be expressed through the form of a story - in this case, poetry.

 

For further context, every event that inspired these three pieces have already occurred, and therefore have been settled. It is important to make that context clear not only to prevent unnecessary issues, but also to convey the theme of this particular anthology.

 

Without further adieu, I do present. . .

I

 

 

8th of Msitza ag Dargund, 499 E.S. | 8th of Amber Cold, 1946 E.S.

 

Our journey starts with an event that is followed with what many refer to famously as “THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF”.  There are many moments in life where we as people will not succeed. As many wise Haeseni mentors have said in the past, “Failure is the greatest teacher”. “SHATTERED” is a piece that I wrote during my time of failure, and is not meant to bring pity towards me, but to convey the emotions I felt throughout the entire ordeal. . .

II

 

 

27th of Wzuvar ag Byvca, 500 E.S. | 27th of Snow’s Maiden, 1947 E.S.

 

There is truly no greater way to display your demands through a strongly written letter. “TO THE MAN I CALLED BROTHER” was not a piece I originally intended to be released to the public, for obvious reasons. However, I felt it important to publish it long after the conclusion of the events as to tie in better towards the end of this lesson. As is famously said, a challenge met is a challenge given. . .

III

 

 

14th of Wzuvar ag Byvca, 503 E.S. | 14th of Snow’s Maiden, 503 E.S.

 

There is nothing more honorable than a duel. The actual events that inspired this poem actually occurred a few days after the challenge was originally issued. I’ve only recently written it to allow for “old wounds” to heal. “A BRAWL BETWEEN BROTHERS” paints the pictures exactly as I remembered it that day. Despite it being an honor duel, in reality the true events are not as clean as the reputation it may bring. . .

“All things heal. . . Sometimes they do not grow back quite the same - but yes. All it takes is time”
